BARBARA J. LISIVICK Age 90, of Mt. Lebanon, formerly of Green Tree, on Monday, July 6, 2020, with her family by her side. Beloved wife of the late Edward A. Lisivick II; loving mother of Edward (Christina Myerski) Lisivick III; Gary (Linda Carlisle) Lisivick and Jeffrey (Janice) Lisivick . Cherished grandmother of Edward Lisivick, IV and Kristin Lisivick. Our mother had a long and very fulfilling life. She raised three sons as a stay at home mom in an era that is gone. As youngsters, our mother decided it was more important for us to see this country than have a big house, so she was the one that instigated the purchase of a travel trailer. Together, we toured the United States as a family in several different recreational vehicles until the sons were out of the nest. Her marriage to Edward Sr. lasted until his death in 2000 and they both had a love of friendship and travel. Together, they traveled to the South Pacific, Central America, and Hawaii. In her later years, she enjoyed her yearly two month wintering vacations on the Big Island of Hawaii. She enjoyed playing her violin with the church and her organ at home. She had many friends scattered from Hawaii to Pittsburgh and we will all miss her strength and character. She showed us her strength and character by refusing dialysis and controlling her own destiny. Despite refusing treatment, she lived an additional five years on her own terms. She enjoyed giving back to the less fortunate and over the years she used her considerable sewing skills to donate items to both friends and charities. A memorial service will be celebrated Saturday, July 11, 2020, at 1:00 P.M., in St. Paul's Episcopal Church. Private Inurnment in Jefferson Memorial Park.

MARY DEGER Passed away on the Fourth of July, 2020, just three months shy of her 100th birthday. She was married to her sweetheart, Charlie, for 64 loving years. Mary will be remembered for being the life of any party she attended. She enjoyed being out with her friends – whether it was on the golf course, or the dance floor. Mary cherished time spent with her family. Particularly memorable moments with her grandchildren include hiding Christmas elves for Anne to find, “stealing” a bite of Amy's dessert, or caddying for Kevin during one of his junior golf tourneys. Mary played a mean harmonica and would regale her family and friends at annual Kentucky Derby parties with her rendition of “My Old Kentucky Home”. She also saluted Summer mornings on annual family vacations at Bethany Beach with The Star-Spangled Banner. Mary and Charlie were founding members of Edgewood Country Club and enjoyed playing golf together every Sunday afternoon with their circle of golfing buddies. Mary was proud of her two holes-in-one that she made at ECC. As a lover of nature, she had a special knack for communing with the birds and taking time to “smell the flowers”. She was an accomplished water colorist, and an avid fan of exploring art museums on her travels throughout the world. She was a long-time volunteer at The Carnegie Museum of Art. Other joys in her life included being an avid reader and recommender of books, as well as being an accomplished volleyball player, in her day. Her appreciation for fitness certainly contributed to her vital and well-lived life. That, and a glass of chardonnay every day for 5:00 Happy Hour! Mary was preceded in death by her husband, Charlie, and her son, Tom. She is survived by her daughter, Kathy Byrnes (Jim) of Kansas City, daughter, Laura Deger of Pittsburgh, and daughter-in-law, Kate Deger, of Pittsburgh; three grandchildren, Anne Matthews (Whit), Amy Ball (Kelly), and Kevin Deger (Lauren); and eight great-grandchildren. Funeral arrangements are private. In Mary's honor, donations can be made to Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens or The Carnegie Museum of Art.
